Andrew Sullivan is a writer and a gay activist who played an enormous role in mainstreaming the idea of same-sex marriage in both the LGBT movement and in the culture at large, has just placed a very large target directly on his back. New York Magazine just published an extensive essay written by Sullivan titled…
Most people look at the transgender phenomenon and take comfort in the belief that it could never happen to their children. In many cases this is probably true, but I can tell you that I have spoken to many heartbroken parents who have discovered that their child has decided to identify as transgender—many of them…
By Jonathon Van Maren The Sexual Revolution is rapidly pushing towards the total breakdown of boundaries, both social and biological. With the stunning rise of gender ideology and our culture’s near total collapse in the face of the trans movement’s advance, science has now become the slave of ideology, with the belief in bodily autonomy…
By Jonathon Van Maren The backlash is continuing against the gender-neutral bathrooms transgender activists are demanding. Earlier this month, I noted a story in this month’s edition of The Atlantic, written by a parent who discussed the chaos that resulted when the school decided to eliminate gender designations for student bathrooms — without consulting the parents. This parent…
By Jonathon Van Maren In the October edition of The Atlantic, there is a fascinating and revealing long-form essay by George Packer titled “When the Culture War Comes for the Kids.” Packer, who appears to be an old-school liberal with a few progressive sympathies, writes about his family’s decision to remove his son from an elite…

Clinicians are raising the alarm, the media is entirely on board, and so-called transgender “treatments” are actually destroying children. But nonetheless, the media constantly spoon-feeds us stories that are supposed to be heartwarming, but…
By Jonathon Van Maren In the current war on biological reality as it pertains to gender, the first intended casualty is language itself. In truly Orwellian fashion, the transgender activists have made tremendous progress on this front—as I pointed out in this space earlier this year, at some point almost the entire news media quietly…
By Jonathon Van Maren With the rollout of the Ford Government’s new sex-ed curriculum, it would seem that all hope of preventing Ontario’s children from being indoctrinated into the dangerous new gender ideologies wreaking such havoc across the Western world is now lost. Despite Ford’s promise to remove gender theory entirely, it remains firmly in…
By Jonathon Van Maren As the culture wars heat up between the American Left and Right, progressive journalists are increasingly falling back on a powerful and succinct statement to push the public into a nostalgia for the Obama years: This isn’t normal. None of this, they write and tweet and blog endlessly, is “normal”: Not the…
